Once I saw the place I had my doubts, but figured I had nothing better to do. So there I was with my box of 24-eggs amidst the throng of over-filled carts. I was in a line of about 50 people.
Probably 3 white people, the rest were a 50/50 mix of Indians (eastern) and Chinese.
I was behind a young Indian guy and he said how crazy it was - he was recently from Madison, Wisconsin. He said how this is what India looks like all the time - anywhere - just masses of people.
“Yeah - in more ways than one it looks like India.”
He laughed.
That is one of the things that I don't like - the density of people. Redmond has in their building development plan clear adherence to the U.N.’s Agenda 21 for making central dense housing districts while keeping “open space” (or banning suburbs).
And with the Indians and Chinese, they think they are living great when they can have a 1,500 sq-foot condo in a new high-rise smack in the middle of what used to be the small downtown of Redmond. Oh - and the 7-story, 100(?) unit buildings aren't required to have parking for every unit.
No worries - mass transit will take care of the 10,000 new people moving in.
I never knew that 14 years ago would be the good old days for me.

Once in awhile, the WM in the next city over, seems to get overstocked on their 2x18 eggs. I need to get some more. It’s about 12 miles away.
Best I got there was 36 eggs for $1.36 or so. They’ll have them for $1.68 once in awhile. The WM I like to go to (little over 4 miles) usually charges $2.88 for same.
These days, you have to take the gas into consideration (but not as much as years ago). That’s why I doubled up on canned dog food last night. I mix it with peas or carrots or green beans and dry dog food.
I grab the cans of veggies 4 for $1 (rarely) or 3/$1 on sales.
That WM 4 miles away runs 25 cent cans peas and green beans every Thanksgiving. I would have bought $20 or $50 of it if I could have. Cheap dog food additive. A big can of dog food is 99 cents or $1 here (though I paid $1.15 last night per can - oopsie). That was a grocery store so it wasn’t WM’s Ol Roy which is probably pretty cheap stuff.
Not that $1.15 is gourmet dog food, LOL.
